(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
1-44117202 - The reporter, a pet owner, indicated that her dog was exposed to a pesticide containing the active ingredient borax. The reporter said her 60-pound, 7-month-old, female, mixed breed dog ingested some of the product on the day of initial contact with the registrant, and is now vomiting. The reporter was advised that the product has a wide margin of safety but with ingestion, transient gastrointestinal irritation is possible. The reporter was advised to seek veterinary care for the pet if the symptoms persist. The reporter called again on the same day stating that the dog was now anorexic. The reporter was advised to seek veterinary care for the dog as the severity of symptoms was not expected from minor product ingestion. A follow-up call was attempted two days after initial contact with the registrant and a voicemail was left. A second follow-up call three days after initial contact with the registrant revealed the dog had not yet been seen by a veterinarian, but the registrant had an appointment two days later. The reporter was encouraged to get the dog evaluated sooner. No additional information is available.
